Here's how it works: Fat cells are broken down by hormone sensitive lipase, also known as HSL.
The main steps of this cascade involve: activation of adenylate cyclase by [beta]-adrenergic receptors, rise in cAMP and activation of protein kinase A (PKA) resulting in the stimulation of lipolysis by hormone sensitive lipase (HSL).
